Everyday and almost every posts here is about face, face and face haha! It is time to discuss other part of our body that need attention as well in looking gorgeous. Summer is here, it's time for flip flop and the trends of open shoes and colors are here too, so the attention is on the other part of our body. You want those hands and feet looking well-groomed as well.

Staying in Jakarta means summer all year long and open toes slippers is always in. Imagine wearing a pair of Jimmy Choo and ehm, those nasty chapped dry heels are visible or the unmanageable toes, they are in need of pampering as well.

There are so many ways of making them look good. From the simplest way at home and daily maintenance to the high end treatments done in a salon or spa.

For me the key start with Cleanliness. As long as they are clean, point no.1 is taken ^^

From washing your hands and feet when they are dirty to scrubbing them well. The skin on our hands and feet are 'tougher' in terms of we use our feet for walking daily, so it need to be tough, if not we feel so much pain every single step. And Our hands as well. We touch and hold so many thing daily and it need layers that protect from the heat (cooking mama), roughness (working papa), and other jobs. Some parts can be visible thicker due to constant friction. Like parts where you hold your pen, it create some bumps as a natural cushion. It doesn't always look good but our body have the tendency to adjust to any situation we're in.

Nevertheless, due to the adjust mentioned above some part can be quite 'damage', seen with roughness, chapped and overly dry. So after scrubbing it, we are using moisturizer for hands and/or feet.

But since those area are used a lot ^0^ some products do cause the hands and feet to be slippery thanks to the oils contained. I experienced it a lot on my feet. To overcome this I put some lotion at night before bed, giving the feet enough time to recover or moisturized over the night. But it need to be done several time and not an instant result. The skin on the are does soften, but easily dries again.

With the hands? Same thing. I wash my hands a lot, from doing laundry, dishes and daily habit as well. So usually the moisture doesn't last long, I need something instantly making them look good ^^

While pampering is the key, I'm thinking of spa and soaking them real good. There are so many items out there that can be used as a bath soak or some sort. Where I'm letting the natural ingredients soften the skin and nourish it. But again, too much soaking can leave the skin drier, especially when it's done with warm or hot water.

My resort? Spa and beauty salon! They can pampered my hands and feet alright ^__^ but (haha, I'm really sounds like a complainer) I can't do this all the time and spend my time at the salon/spa daily. The service depends on the staff and well, humans are also known for being moody and does errors from time to time. I hate when they over clipped the skin, it is painful and sanitizing is a standard not every salon can achieve.

They do have bonus thou', pretty nails afterwards,

From the most unnatural,

To the most natural look.

From hands,

To toes.

But I wish I can do these at home all by myself with the easiest way. How?

So nails-wise, they are covered. I still want the rough part on the book of my hands and heels be securely lovable as well. Right now all my choices is in the daily treatment. From cleanliness, scrub/peeling, and oh, one more thing, for the feet, we need them smells real good as well. I do found many ideas on removing the odors --> HERE. Aren't there an all in one solutions? The one that gives smoothness, smells good, pampering, moisturizing, and for the nails too?

Before we go there, daily diet also important for a healthy nails and skin, including the skin on our hands and feet. Nails in particular have these details:

Nail
problemsPossible nutrient deficiency

Brittle,
weak and dryCalcium, Vitamin A

White spotsIron, Zinc

Cracking
and breakingProtein, Iron

White linesZinc, Protein

Curved nail
end and darkeningVitamin B12

Reddish-brown
spotsFolic acid, Protein and Vitamin
C

(from Nestle-Family.com)

And one more that often asked, yellowish? Is due to color pigment, who often colored their nails without using base coat to protect the nails, the pigment goes into the nails. Other problem such as fungus, etc, can be solved with anti-fungus cream.

Euuhhhhhhh!!!! I know, I know, we are all here to discuss how can hands and feet become gorgeously beautiful ^__^ take note that beautiful hands and feet (incl nail) start from a healthy condition. After that then you can enhance the condition by pampering pampering and pampering ^^

So remember, healthy diet, cleaning, soaking, scrubbing, and moisturizing is the key to a beautiful hands and feet. Let's wait if there's a product that can give us a result of all that in one, until then let's do the conventional way.

Last but definitely not least, and which I think a product that can be used for anyone (my skin is combination to dry) I also use for day time, is the moisturizer.I've done the review for the moisturizer --> HERE. And for those who doesn't really like reading ^^ here's a video for you to enjoy:

Still, I give you a before after picture and overall review after using all 4. The skin which previously a bit oily on T zone area become no longer oily. The cheek which is dry are happy with the hydration. Like mentioned above I use Aquasource for dry skin at night time and only use Pure.Fect for day time. I still have to admit this product is really meant for those with combination to oily skin. They'll love and get the most benefit from Pure.Fect for being (far) less oily, contained antibacterial ingredients for less acne and breakouts, and yet gives hydration on the skin. It's like a complete set.

For those who doesn't have oily skin, but occasionally have acne/pimple can use Targeted Solution only on the acne/pimple and it will help dries up the problematic area and again, the antibacterial agents helps kill the germs too.

Moisturizing wise? On some days (when I'm not lazy) I use the hydrating gel for my T zone and gives my U zone Aquasource ^^ both of the area are happy and get what they need (want).

Conclusion? Finally, a skincare for oily skin that gives more love than striping it dry.

I'm here with Shu Uemura's Rouge Unlimited. The 50 colors may not be all here in Indonesia but most of them are! Hooray!

You can read my visit to the store --> HERE and see the galore of product arrays.

A preview and yes, there is one black lipstick there ^^ And I'm adore the purple shade, unlike other which faded or not vivid enough, Rouge Unlimited is true in colors without compromising the comfort and moisture for our lips.

Thanks to Shu Uemura Indonesia, I have the chance to review 2 of their products. The new casing is a delight to the eyes and showing you that what's inside is exactly portrays the colors and hue. A see right through product for your delight.

Let's see the one in Pink first. I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of pink, it made me look childish haha ^0^ but, 340 still shout classy in it's way. Natural and freshen up the look with a perk. One thing that amaze me is the luxurious moisturizing effect. Usually vivid color comes with dry lipstick, so I need balm afterwards, but Rouge Unlimited is smooth sailing with the colors so true it stays there.

Mind my dry lips as I've been unwell these past few days but hey, I guess I can review how moist it is when clearly, it made my dry chapped lips happy ^^ Pink lover will go goo goo ga ga over this shade.

Now, let's see the 931.

Is it just me or I found 931 more moisturizing than 340 haha, the lipstick felt more creamy and yummy as well, my lips are being pampered in the same time and the colors, Ooh! It's all there! You can see the dramatic changes. On top lips I give 2 swipes while on the bottom 4 swipes, yes, the more layer you give the more colors come as well as the moisture. I really like them, it's like so comfortable and I understand all the fuss about. Fuss? Yes, Rouge Unlimited have got a lot of rave review and I'm here to prove it ^^

Here are some more pictures for 931.

Overall: For me it's like lipstick and balm in one, plus the shine too. The colors do stays on long (4-6 hours max, without licking or any touch done) but if you accidentally wipe it after a meal or so, the moisturizing effect is still there ^0^ great news isn't it. A suitable products for any lipstick lover with choices of selection that anyone can related to, from the one that matches your lips exactly to the one that transforms you.

Additional info:

Every shade comes with Warm and Cool Shades for your undertone. And some for Neutral undertone like 955 (reddish tauped-brown) and 315 (soft baby pink) which means, a match for any undertone. Triggered to know more? Come to any Shu Uemura's counter near you and bring them home!

How are you? It's been so long since my last post (yes, 4 days is like a gazillion years XD) I've been really busy lately and I will be even more busy next week. I have tons of postponed posts and really sorry for the delays, I'll start with my first review courtesy of Her World Indonesia and Orlane.

The facial was done on the 16th of June in Central Park. Orlane have a small yet adequate room for a person having a relaxation facial in the middle of their hectic schedule.

I read frame by frame and let the therapist explain the products to me while at the same time doing a consultation to figure it out the correct treatment for my skin which is dry and a bit sensitive from time to time.

Apparently Orlane focus is on hydrating the skin. Seems like my kind of skincare ^^

From face care, body and specific needs.

These are all the products that used for me. The Cleansing Milk is a delight, it cleanse without striping the skin dry, so does the Cleansing Foam which is used right after Cleansing Milk. Then the mask is applied and my skin absorbed it like desert gulping on any fluid at the surface. Continued by a small massage for my arms which felt moisturizing as well. Next after cleaning the leftover from the mask, serum and moisturizer is applied. My skin become so relax and cool (literally). Anyone can enjoy a facial by Orlane after some purchases made and it's free ^__^

For the service I give 3,5 out of 5 starwhy? When the suction cause redness on my skin (removing blackheads) the therapist 'blame' me. Which is funny since I never put her on that spot -.-.

For the products I give it 4,5 out of 5 star for being so good and comforting. My skin can be cranky and picky from time to time and Orlane calms it down ^^

Overall it is a very good experience and you can learn more on the products here: http://www.orlane.com/skin-care-programs-1/programs/hydration.html or just stop by at the counter.

Why do I choose them? The Base from Shu Uemura is ultra light and so comfortable under this crazy weather of heat and sun rays, it protects the skin from the damage of UV and in the same time gives coverage while letting the skin breathe. It is an all in one solution.

Then use the loose powder for extra coverage and help the mattefying effect of the skin. Plus additional SPF (mild but better than none), they also have this wide variety of colors that anyone can relate and found that super perfect match for their skin tone. It is actually a foundation too and the best thing about this product is you only need a small amount and using foundation brush, it can go along the way ^^

After the based we need colors of course, summer for me always means fun and being super duper cute with colors. NO need using the pinkish of the pinkest cheek and red red lips all in the same time, use YSL Glossy Stain in 09 when your cheek is mild. The lustrous gloss is super comfortable and smooth. It's the feeling that only YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis a Levres can gives, sensational, stays on and vivid color.

While Anna Sui Rose Cheek Color can be used when you want something in the air and it goes by the name of romance. The cream pressed colors are beautiful and enhance with tea rose scent that you just have to use it to believe it and end it with pastel all over your face for a complete dolled look.

Active ingredients in your daily skincare regimen go directly to the
targeted zone deep within the cell where they can perform to their
maximum potential and help you look your best.
Comes with a one-year international warranty.

This wonderful device is easily used and handy for traveling as well. Put it inside a glasses case or small long pencil case and use it when you need it. Always on a cleaned face with moisturizer on top (plus serum as well) and see the amazing result where the products actually works better with Cream Booster.

Use it by yourself and found out how unique it is. Others can't help you, the touch of your own hand will activate the product.

See the video for more details and enjoy!

Thank you so much TALIKA Indonesia, I'll keep using the products and find out if there's more that meet the eyes ^^And this is my review after using the product over one month.

The Cream Booster is an excellent tool to be used with those rich cream that seems so difficult to absorb, such as night cream and other high ends products that's so full of prosperous material from mother earth.

I found so many luxury brand products are suitable to be used with Cream Booster, the one that contains more hydration and feels slippery on the skin and need time to absorb. Those who gives velvety effect in an instant may not be suitable to be used with Cream Booster as it would not be a proper intermediary.

I also still adore the fact that Cream Booster is small and light. I haven't use it on a flight before concerning of the safety standard and how the tool is not a common item, but it would be great to keep hydrating and using rich cream on board without being too greasy.

Overall, Cream Booster is a match for those with dry, normal to oily skin, who wants the best of their skincare to actually works for them.

For me a single battery last for a month and please do use a high quality battery as it would help the tool longevity.

Hi, couple days ago as I was walking in Plaza Senayan, I have a few minutes to kill and I decided to look around at the beauty department ^^ I like to keep myself updated and I know Shu Uemura have something new in the counter.

Seen it in the counter? You're definitely have! It's the new collection of Rouge Unlimited by Shu Uemura. Details from shuuemura.com:

catena of the hues from black to pink frost, chocolate to daring red. For less price (- 10%) than the previous packaging, luscious lips has become more within reach.

And while I was there, I met Hendrix ^^ As usual as perfectionist as he is, seeing me a bit messy (from close up) he fixes the brows and eyes as well. Surprise, surprise, he also done my hair. Apparently he is so used to do photo shoots in magazine and manage to do the hair and makeup for the models as well. He did a makeover for me months ago, click HERE to find out more.

He really have a passion for beauty! In 30 minutes he manage to turn messy me, into a more polished look ^^ suitable for attending an event. My before look? I even too embarrassed to show you.

Here it is:

As seen, I did use make up, but in the hands of Hendrix, the exact same makeup can look so different ^^ I guess that's why he is the one accredited by Shu Uemura and I'm clearly not.

And these are the process, he tidied up the hair into braided with styled decoration inspired by his last trip to Taiwan. He made the eyes more defined with shaped brows and fixed some liners using all the products by Shu Uemura which is also known for being so advantageous and meticulous. Not to forget the cheek are blushed over and the lips are decorated with the new Rouge Unlimited (more reviews will come).

Okay this is my final look, I have to go to another event and I will share with you more makeover of me with Hendrix, and I hope it will be as soon as possible and I'm thinking of a video as well, so you can see the transformation with all the motion and movement involved ^^

That's it for mow ^^ Don't forget to visit Hendrix, he is currently in Shu Uemura Plaza Senayan and get that look from an accredited makeup artist of Shu Uemura Indonesia.
